I have been thinking about getting one of the Lithos, any idea when new ones will be released?

Also how much would it cost to get those framed? I don't want to spend alot of money to frame them.


Oh and the mini lithos, the pictures so boxs and stuff.. its not like that are they ? Just small ones right?

New Mass Effect lithos are scheduled for the end of the month. Purgatory Exterior and Cerberus (no clue what that one'll look like, though). As for framing ideas, check out this thread: http://social.biowar...0/index/4812539 . Often times, the framing of the lithographs ends up being more expensive than the original purchase price of the image itself, so just a heads-up there if you're new to litho collecting.

Meh I don't care about mass effect lithos....


And really? How could simple *I am not talking about custom* framing cost that much?


For the minis couldn't I just get something like this? http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B000FYVASW


And for the the 22" x 39" Kirtwall one I can't find a 22" x 39" so I don't know what I would do for that.

Oh and I see that it says taht all Kirtwall ones are damaged is this true? should I still get it then?

they aren't really damaged there is a barely noticeable scuff mark in the white border the image itself is unaffected

If you happen to receive a badly damaged lithograph (like a crease straight down the middle), you just contact Customer Support and they'll work you through the process of getting another. They always hold a few lithos back for this purpose and, in my experience, their customer care service is top-notch. Little bends in the corner don't matter much overall, as the image (should) be framed and will become unnoticeable.

I tend to go for custom frames, personally. But that's just me. Everyone has their own style for framing these.

For the Kirkwall Gate, just get a frame that's a tad larger than the litho and fit a border (if the frame does not already come with one) around the litho.

Framing is expensive.  The Kirkwall Gate Litho is an unusual size which makes it worse.   Check the Framing thread because there is alot of discussion about framing it in there.  Some people have splashed out on Custom Frames,  I got lucky and found a 70cm x 100cm Frame for it on sale.  As you can imagine though I have alot of excess space surrounding the Litho.  However a good border covers that up.

Then I can honestly say that I don't think lithographs are for you. Lithographs are more like collectible items than "a picture" 

Also, I currently use $30 frames from Michael's while I save up for custom frames, and I wait for all DA2 lithos to be released because I want them all to be the same.

Some people have managed to get some frames for fairly cheap. 18x24 is a fairly common size, so you can find them at most framing/hobby stores. Most people seem to spend around 20 bucks per frame.

Honestly, get some of the mini's first, and see if you like them enough to continue. The full sized are the real collectors items, and while I still don't like the idea of not framing mini's, they aren't as valued.

If I get them I will get em framed, they will just be cheap frames.
